Inspired by the traditional county fair vibe of the American heartland, the relaunch of Sue Bee Pure Honey takes on a special meaning closely following the Fourth of July celebrations. The spirit and essence of rustic Americana provides the thematic backdrop for the revitalized new look and packaging of the iconic American brand. Held at the Grand Hyatt Manila inBGC, Sue Bee Pure Honey recreates the festive and optimistic mood of the Independence Day celebrations with the vibrant colors of red, white and blue balloons and comfortingly familiar fare of ribs, brisket and burgers. As Sue Bee Pure Honey marks its 103rd year, the brand is ready to satisfy the sweet cravings of the next generation of honey lovers anchored on its proud tradition of quality.
Why honey? Honey has countless benefits as a natural sweetener and healthier alternative to refined, processed sugar. It's also known as an effective antioxidant that helps fight free radicals while aiding digestive issues with its soothing effect. Nature's own "nectar of the gods," the versatility of honey as a culinary ingredient and sweetener makes it a staple in many home pantries and kitchens.
It's a sweet story of success that began in 1921 when five beekeepers from Sioux City in Iowa teamed up to pool their resources together and form the Sioux Honey Association. Today, the collaboration has grown into an established cooperative of 200 beekeepers across the United States.
A little more than a century later, many of these family run businesses are now managed by a new generation of beekeepers learning the craft passed down from the founders. Today, the Sioux Honey Association is renowned worldwide for producing pure, high-quality honey trusted by consumers. Maintaining the high quality of its honey through the years has always been priority number one, and this is ensured by a rigorous testing process. Each batch of honey passes through extensive testing for color, moisture, purity, pollen content and other attributes. Nothing but the best quality honey is bottled and labeled with the Sue Bee Pure Honey name.
The results of the exacting testing process becomes immediately evident with that first spoonful of honey delivering clean notes with a rich and deep sweetness. Made from 100% real honey from the US derived from the nectar collected by honeybees and transformed into honey in honeycombs, the entire process is all-natural with nature dictating each step of the way. The prized honey is then filtered to remove any visible particles from the hive for the purest product possible. What you get is the smoothest honey product without any artificial additives to alter its natural flavors or consistency. It's no surprise that many say this is the gold standard for honey since 1921.
The popularity of natural and organic honey has seen a resurgence with the entry of both imported and local brands in the market. Yet only Sue Bee Pure Honey guarantees you get real US Grade A Honey. 100% pure all-natural honey, without any artificial additives or preservatives. Just real honey. Sue Bee Pure Honey holds the distinction as being the initial honey brand distributed nationwide in the United States, establishing its preeminent status as a respected household name trusted across generations for over a century.
Anchored by its main Premium Pure Honey offering, Sue Bee Pure Honey also offers flavor variants like Orange Blossom Honey and Clover as well as Raw & Unfiltered Honey and Wildflower Honey from its Aunt Sue's product line. The Premium Pure Honey is an all-purpose honey with a mild flavor while the Orange Blossom Honey has an aromatic and fragrant hint with a distinct orange flavor. The Unfiltered Raw Honey is unpasteurized retaining its pure flavors and natural enzymes. When it comes to real honey, one name stands above the rest since 1921.

What's an all-American county fair without burgers? Grand Hyatt Manila dished out its Char-Grilled Beef Burger with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, plum tomato, garden-fresh and crisp lettuce, pickled gherkins and sweet and tart honey relish on a homemade freshly baked burger brioche bun sprinkled with sesame seeds.
All the flavorful elements in a perfect burger are there, but it's the honey relish that completes the flavors tempering the savory richness of the juicy all-beef patty for that perfectly balanced finish.
Other options served that evening included the Fried Chicken Sandwich with a large slab of crisp and juicy fillet of chicken topped with coleslaw and creamy honey mustard sauce.
Then, the county fair inspired feast gets a lot more serious with the Mango Wood Smoked Barbecue Pork Ribs with Cajun Honey Glaze. BBQ and honey are synonymous with the American experience.

Fork-tender, juicy and fall-off-the-bone, the Mango Wood Smoked Barbecue Pork Ribs with Cajun Honey Glaze sets the mood and tone for the county fair celebration of Sue Bee Pure Honey at the Grand Hyatt Manila.
But it's the 78 Hour Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Bourbon Honey Barbecue Sauce that was the undisputed star of the evening.
